This episode has some improved action, but the absolute ridiculousness of everything happening as Danny/Colleen/Claire goes to China and the melodrama of the Meachuns ruin the experience.

The absolute psychosis of the Meachum family is objectively the best part of this show. Harold Meachun's delivery of every fucking line in episode 12 is a gift.

About Iron Fist... it’s really boring, starts slow and remains in a slug pace until the very end...

Aside from Jessica Stroup’s Joy and the ladies from the other Netflix/Marvel shows Daredevil’s Madame Gao, Jessica Jones’ Jeri Hogath and Luke Cage’s Claire Temple there is very little here to entertain anyone.

Although Tom Pelphrey’s Ward is well acted his is not given much to do, both his and Joy’s backstory had so much potential and are only teased here.

Potential is actually a key-word in this show. Danny has probably one the most compelling backstories in the MCU and we only get fragments of it – the airplane scene is never fully shown and his childhood with the Meachuns is shown briefly only once. His fight scenes are probably the dullest of all the four Defenders shows and considering that Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are awful fighters that is saying something.

For a guy who is supposed to be a living weapon and the greatest fighter within the Marvel hoster, it’s curious that Danny receives a smack down from pretty much anyone who challenges him. And even if he keeps yelling (god knows how much he yells) that he had 15 years of training with the monks he has quite the anger management issue. Believe me when I say that the boy is completely messed up, one moment he is talking all politely with Collin and somehow the chirping of birds will trigger a flashback from the plane crash and he will have a nervous breakdown.

Finn Jones is probably the weakling of the show, it pains me to say this, because so far the track record has been amazing with Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter. Finn comes off as woody at lot of times and his Danny Rand reminds of a kid throwing a tantrum more often than not, a few of the characters of the show actually point that out in different occasions. On top of that he Just.Can’t.Fight. Seriously, he is bad, a lot of the times Finn seems like a stunt double in training, as if the actual stunt double missed work and he is just filling in. It does get better by the latter chapters but not much.

Jessica Henwick defends Colleen in a pretty decent way, she is given a quite good arc that adds bulk to her character. It annoys me a little that they decided to pair up her and Danny as a couple in this show, especially of you consider that this adds a layer of hypocrisy into Danny’s character. Another thing that bummers me is that soon enough that will meet Misty Knight in The Defenders and everyone who knows the comics knows that Colleen and Danny together might temper with some pretty cool moments that could come up.

K’un-Lun is never show. Yep, zero, nada, nothing to see, not even in flashbacks of silly CGI. The dragon Shou Lao is “shown” is a blink-and-you-will-miss scene that would make the visual effects team from Once Upon a Time cringe.

That’s another thing with the show, I get that the Marvel/Netfilx shows are more grounded and “realistic” but Iron Fist demands a more visually trippy representation. In a story with warrior monks, heavenly cities, dragons and glowing hands with nuclear properties is abysmal that the produces went down the route where none of that is shown.

And while Daredevil and Luke Cage want to make their neighborhoods better (whereas Jessica wants nothing to do with any of that) Danny is always proclaiming he is going to clear the Rand Co. from the Hand and makes things right, except he never does. He has the focus of a newborn puppy, jumping from shiny new thing to the next, none of his arcs actually develop in an organic way.

His relationship with Joy starts with a lot of promising, adding depth to both characters, in my honest opinion this paring could have worked a lot better than the one they decided to explore. That is dropped in two episodes. His confrontation with Ward about their turbulent relationship is also explored and dropped in two episodes. Colleen’s betrayal (which adds a lot to the character) is seemingly forgotten in a one episode. The relationship between Rand’s and Meachun’s patriarch is also never show, is barely talked at all, you never get to know how both families became so close, we only know about the demise of that relationship in the very end of the season.

That’s another thing about Danny that annoyed the hell out of me: He is dumb. Sooooooo Dumb. And look, I considered Luke Cage the dumbest of the Defenders so far but Danny won him in that category by landslide. He fall into pretty much anyone’s trap, he believes in everyone, he underestimates is opponents all the time, he never has any idea of what to do (that is also pointed out in show sometimes). I could overlook all of that if he had been raised by wolves, but no, he was raises by warriors monks who trained him to fight against the Hand and he is completely naïve and clueless about pretty much anything, you expect someone more in the lines of Matt Murdock and Elektra Natchios, instead we get an angsty young adult with rage outbursts.

As for the whole controversy of the ethnicity of Danny… I’m glad that a white guy played him, because I don’t doubt for a second there that if it happened to be an Asian descendent actor he would’ve been massacred by critics and haters (although the line that divides critics and haters has become quite blurred). I’m part of the group that hoped for Danny to be played by an asian actor, and I’m sure they could’ve found a better choice than Finn, because at time he comes across as a impressionable white teenager who just watched his first kung-Fu movie and wants to be cool like that.

As for the future… well, to be quite honest I hope they merge Luke Cage’ and Iron Fist’ shows into one Heroes For Hire. Both characters had brutally slow shows, Cage however leaned more to Jessica Jones’ character study vibe, whereas Iron Fist falls more into Daredevil’s action thriller category which in the ended benefited Luke Cage greatly. In the hands of a capable helmer (showrunner) a Heroes For Hiro could work so much better than the individual shows. But that’s wishful thinking from my part.

All that I can say is that I’m still excited to see The Defenders, but because Matt and Jessica will be there to save the day. And Claire, and Hogath and hopefully Frank Castle.
